post 1967 Beach Boys I'd argue are more universal, smile era stuff especially is close to being as universal as it can possibly get.
ALSO the beach and surf songs, loads of them are really good and shouldnt be dismissed because they're about surfing or cars. The melodies and harmonies are still amazing.

Theres also outdated stuff like Within you without you, for the benefit of mr kite, lovely rita when Im 64, she's leaving home and Good Morning Good Morning on that album that hasnt aged well at all.
Pet Sounds is next level shit and as universal album as there possibly will ever be.
All of you who live long enough, you will see. Remember this thread.

You woulda been more believable if you said the Monkees instead of the Beach Boys.

Already, Sgt. Pepper sounds badly dated while Pet Sounds sounds like it could have come out yesterday.
People are starting to realize.
Beach Boys post-pet sounds albums were ignored but people are starting to realize how many amazing songs they have made. It turns out they were just 40 years ahead of their time. The beatles in contrast sound pretty dated. Their stereo recording isn't helping things, while Beach Boys only recorded in mono.
50 years from now it will be the beach boys everyone talks about as the gold standard 60s rock band.
The problem is the bolded sentence is in your mind. Where is this Beach Boys rennassance? I actually see that happening with a lot of Beatles material, a lot of lennon, etc. The Beach Boys had a little resurgence like 10 yrs ago but to be honest nobody really talks about that now.
Part of your prediction is it's begun, and that part is just patently false and made up.

I love the Beatles but their fans go overboard. There is a Beatles fest/convention in my area that is charging $75 for admission. For that kinda money I better get my hand shaked by Paul and Ringo and see a spirit medium to talk to John and George.

I just don't think the Beach Boys will ever be as popular among a general audience. The Beatles are constantly exposed to new fans through TV and movies that use their songs and people are constantly covering them.

Worst thread ever..... and I have been here since the EZ Board days.
The Beach Boys are simply awful, and only inspired artists that suck massive amounts of coq.
Any popular song you hear nowadays is due to the Beatles. Lennon and McCartney may as well get writing credits for every good song ever.

On one hand Nick Young is an idiot and the Beach Boys have lost massive popularity over the past 20 years.
On the other hand, I doubt many of you have sat down and listened to an original MONO Beatles album. They sound quite dated. Don't fool yourself and think the remastered 10 CD box set from the past decade is anywhere close to how the original material was supposed to sound.

Wild Honey
Friends
Sunflower
Surf's Up
Holland
Love You
The Smile Sessions
Most of these albums are for some reason ignored but they are easily on par with the Beatles greatest albums. The Beach Boys back catalogue will soon be recognized for the genius that it is.
Mike Love and Dennis Wilson were also brilliant songwriters, it is not just Brian Wilson.
Already the modern indie movement owes a huge debt to THE BEACH BOYS and not the Beatles.
Mark my words.

Pet Sounds is awful? Explain yourself.

It starts as indie and ends with indie. Thats why the majority still appreciates Beatles over The Beach Boys.
